It's been awhile since I've written anything on here, things have just been so hectic in my life. I have had little to no free time and have not been able to get on here. While things have been crazy here, it has been such a sweet time in my life. I am currently working about 65 hours a week. I spend 40-45 hours a week at my job (which I still love) and 20ish hours at my internship. I have changed internships since I wrote here last and am now at a clinic at my university doing counseling. I mostly see children and adolescents but I do see one couple for marriage counseling and a 24 year old woman. I went in thinking I would only like working with adolescents and my favorite two clients are my couple and the 24 year old! It has been an amazing experience and has just confirmed that this is in fact what I want to do with my life. I have loved being able to walk with people as they struggle through life.
Along with work and my internship, I am currently working on my final paper. It has been a challenge (to say the least), due to many frustrations my classmates and I have had with our professor. But I am almost done and it feels great. I will graduate on December 17th at 1:00pm and cannot wait!
I am learning so much in this time, it has been challenging on so many levels. I am so thankful for the people who encourage me each and every day (especially when I just want to throw in the towel and be done!). I feel honored to have people who love me and urge me on! I am looking forward to this season of my life being over but want to continue to live in the here and now, and truly be thankful for where I am at.
